Behind the Scenes: Filming Naomi and Matt's Wedding at Kilnsey Park Estate

This blog post is a behind-the-scenes look at a recent wedding that I filmed - Naomi and Matt's special day at Kilnsey Park Estate. But this isn't just a highlight reel of their wedding; instead, I'll be taking you through my approach to filming weddings and how I ensure that I capture all the important moments of the day. From the early morning preparations and establishing shots to the emotional vows, speeches, and dancing, I'll detail how I work to create a wedding film that captures the essence of the day. I recognize the importance of capturing not just the sights of the day, but also the sounds, which is why I always make sure that everyone who needs a microphone has one. I'll also explain how I work to get the best angles and shots, as well as my philosophy on taking a step back and capturing candid moments as they happen. So whether you're a future bride or groom looking for a videographer or simply someone interested in the art of wedding videography, join me on this journey through Naomi and Matt's beautiful wedding.

Being a wedding videographer means I get to capture memories for couples, meet so many wonderful people and provide them with a cherished keepsake they can look back on as time goes by.
